File Hosts and Image Hosts!

    Hello Everyone,

    I always look at file hosting websites and image hosting websites and wonder how they make money other than through adsense?

    I believe some offer a premium account, but what does this entail?

    Thanks

    Jon

    File hosting is such a bad business to go into, the server fees are so much.

    File Hosting will cost you on server fee's.

    i have very good experience with image host, i am now running my third image hosting site, on my own server. I earn money with adsense/adbrite.

    Well, in my opinion proxies and Image hosting would make more from CPM programs, than Adsense. Either proxies or image hosts needs much traffic. Not overyone clicks, so its just better to have some revenue for every visit. If You have a good source of traffic (USA/UK/switzerland and so) You can have almost 2$ per 1000 impressions in some companies. One CPM banner + 2 adsense banners = maximized revenue in my opinion.

    most imagehosts use CPM ad networks and Affiliate Ad Networks to be most profitable
    adsense is not good and you can get banned when a user upload jsut one offending file/image

    May I know which company pays 2$ per 1000 impressions ? I would be happy with even 1$ lol =) My site generate over 50.000 page views daily but earnings are 5-10$ or sometimes even less ( I am using AdBrite/Adsense ) And yeah my traffic is mostly USA.

    Well, You can see a list of CPM affiliates on GeekHall.net, So I would recommend You to see it and pick one of them. (the first one - Yesadvertising pays CPM popup 1.80$ from USA and UK traffic )

    yeah adsense is no good for imagehosting or filehosting and will only bring down your earnings as well
    cpm ad networks are better

    the adsense is placed on main page so the image hosting sites earn good with it.
